.. and in addition to that, perhaps something like this too?
Making the actual _PAGE_XYZ bits be of the proper type makes using bitops
and negation on them automatically DTRT, so that we don't need those
insane casts in pte_mkclean() and friends.
Again, totally untested, but we really should just get the types right,
instead of getting them wrogn and then messing around with various silly
and incorrect work-arounds for the fact that we got them wrong.
And while it's untested - if this cleanup is buggy (or even generates
different code), then we're doing something really wrong somewhere.
